You can also give your customers the ability to automatically order the part from the warehouse and ship it to you. An invoice will print at your location letting you know that the part is coming in from the warehouse for that particular customer.

Part Categories

Ability to display a list of Accessories, or any miscellaneous item that you sell, that are not cataloged items. You create the lists, and attach pictures of each item.

Click on the "Part Categories" section in the blue bar on the left of the setup screen.

You will be directed to the following screen;

9


From this screen you may add a new group. Type the name for the new group in the box labeled "New Group", near the top of the screen, then click "Add Group" to the right of your entry, as in the example below.

The screen will now change, showing your new group in the list, as below;

This will give you many pictures, all of which can be saved to your PC. Simply right-click the picture, and select "Save As", naming the picture to be saved.

After uploading the picture, the following screen will appear. Repeat this procedure until all parts have pictures.

11


Another useful feature is the ability to upload complete files to add to a category, possibly from a source like Excel. There are on-screen instructions for this procedure, as shown below;

Simply arrange the columns in your file to be imported as outlined in the instructions, save it to your PC, then use "browse" to find it and click "Import CSV File". You can click "View Sample Import File" to see how the file should be arranged.

If you have multiple stores, and want to duplicate your Part Categories in all your stores, simply assign the same password inside each store's setup in the box labled "Master ID:" that you used for the Main Store, where the categories were originally created.

After you have set up all your categories and uploaded pictures, if you choose, the page your customers see will look like the example below;

12


Managing Your "Hot Links"The "Hot Links" section of ePartConnection allows you to define different buttons that will appear on the first screen of ePartConnection, as in the screen below;

To set up this feature, from the setup screen, choose "Manage Your Hot Links" in the blue bar on the left, as in the screen below;

You will be directed to the screen below;

13


There are 3 options for setting up your Links. "Predefined Website" will place a button directing your customers to one of several

companies or data services that have been selected by Autologue for use in ePartConnection.

"Category Groups" are the parts you previously set up in the Part Category section discussed in the previous section. Use this to give quick access to a section such as in the example, "Monthly Specials".

"Custom Web Site" is a website of your choosing. It could be related to your business, it could be a friend's website, or ideally, it could be a company you have some sort of an arrangement with to make you more money! Use this feature sparingly, only choosing important links, as the screen could get cluttered with too many buttons.

If you select the "Shop Tools/Equip" option in Predefined Web Site, you must have a "Tool Web" ID. To get this, simply click on the link Tool Web Setup, get your ID, and enter it in the "Tool Web ID" box. Click "Save Changes to Your Links".

Simply click "Add a New Link Button" to open a new box to create a new link.

Prism AConneX Setup Procedure

26


Outlined is an overview of what Prism customer’s have to do to their management system in order to receive E-Store Orders:

1. The customer’s system must be on at least release 12.1. (Otherwise you will need to enter Line Code on Stock Check Screen, plus the system will run faster)

2. A high speed internet connection should be setup with an ISP. (Static IP address)3. Get setup with an account and ID # through the following web address

http://www.aconnex.com.4. Get setup with an account login number and password with Autologue for

ePartConnection. Refer to the “ePartConnection Jobber Setup Procedure” documentation.

5. The Prism system has to have the following: AConneX software for installers needs to be licensed and enabled in

SYSOFT on the Prism. Contact Activant to ensure this. A network card must be installed, configured and tested so it can talk to

the router. Contact Activant to accomplish this. The router needs to have ports 55565 & 55547 forwarded to 192.168.1.2

(Prism CPU most of the time unless someone changed the default setting in SYDEV on the Prism). Contact Activant to accomplish this.

To test the network card and router to see if the Prism can find the router, on the Prism press the OPTIONS key and enter SYDEV. Arrow down to NETWORK CARD and press the F7(Next Screen), arrow down to 192.168.1.0 and Press F7 again, on the next screen hightlight the router IP 192.168.1.2 and press the F2 key to PING the router. If it does not PING the router, the network card or the router ports are not set up correctly. Contact Activant if necessary.

6. Setup trading partner accounts as follows:

This is a brief description of how to set up for AConneX orders. Remember some of these screens will only be available after the appropriate software has been turned on in SYSOFT and initialized or turned on. The following programs can be accessed on the Prism by pressing the <OPTIONS> key and entering the program.

1. SYSOFT

There are a few additional SYSOFT options that must be turned on and initialized in order to act as a server (Supplying Locations) for other clients. Check to make sure the following are Licensed and Enabled.

2. SYCCM

There are two screens that must be completed to receive orders from other systems via AConneX.

27

http://www.aconnex.com/


Local System Information Local System Name. The customer number on the PRISM system

(@[email protected]) Local Node ID – This must be assigned by an advice line agent. Iconnect Server Address – www.iconnect.aconnex.com Network Daemon port – 55565 Number of network resources – 10 (default) Maximum file transfer sessions – 1 – (default) This should be changed

appropriately Maximum inquiry sessions – 10 (default) This should be changed appropriately

Resource Pool Screen Resource pool name – usually “gateway” is used Resource Type - iConnect for AConneX Both IMH & FH handlers must be enabled

3. IVCP Make sure that you setup a pricing plan to be used by the E-Store Customers system. If you would like them to receive a term mark up or mark down, you can enter an amount in the “Telepart Orders Price Adjustment” field.

4. ARCUST

Add a customer number, if one does not already exist, making sure to assign the IVCP plan from above. The customer must be a CHG customer, use a Charge status of “C” and have an available balance to place orders.

5 SYSEC

Add a separate security plan, similar to the telepart plans, which will allow you to change security for the E-Store user without affecting the telepart users. They must have a minimum of the following:

INVOICE – IVS (Check the Invoicing section while in SYSEC)

Accept (Type1) A/R chargesAllow Cancel of Non-final DocsCreate Final Documents (or document type you prefer)Display Outside Trading groups (this will allow the E-Store user to view inventory from all locations)Display Price X (whichever price field or fields you would like to display)Display QTY’s as a Y or NSell outside trading groups (this will allow the E-Store user to order from all locations regardless of trading group)Sell from other locations (this will allow the E-Store user to order from all locations)

SYSTEM (This is also in SYSEC)28

http://www.iconnect.aconnex.com/


SYRL - Allow remote login

MUL_LOC (This is also in SYSEC)

Multi-location (This must be allowed if the E-Store user is permitted to order from all locations)

**The next 4 steps have to be done for every ePart account**

6. SYUSR

1. Add a user id It is usually easiest to use “a” followed by the first 4 letters of the customer number (example Cust # 1234 using AConneX would have a user id of “a1234”).

2. Security Plan Same plan ID as setup above3. Home Menu “IV”4. First Program “IVS_ONLY”5. Location Enter the invoicing location that should be used by this user id

7. VTEL

Add a Telecom user ID to be assigned to the SYUSR through IVCCON

1. Telecom User ID

Same as SYUSR except use capital letters

2. Printer Plan The printer plan that the E-Store customer should use3. Location Which location to Print at4. Customer

NumberThe customer number as seen in ARCUST

5. Branch The branch number (if applicable)6. Telecom Type “T” for teleport

8 IVCCON

1. Default action code

Usually "P" or "F" (pickticket or final) but can also be "B" for Batch Final

2. Central Order Desk

Should be "N"

3. Telecom User ID

Select the Telecom user ID from above

9. SYCPR

1. Connection ID Same as Customer Number in IVTEL (All Capital Letters)2. Password Enter the password that has been given to the E-Store user

(All Capital Letters)3. User ID This is the User ID that was added above.4. Use which UM Typically S for selling UM can be T for stocking UM

29


As soon as the <add> key is hit, the Telecom user ID and customer number fields will be filled in automatically based on the other setups. Confirm that everything looks correct.

10. CTPLAN

Display the user ID that links to the E-Store connection ID above. Make sure that the proper CTLINE plan ID is assigned. The CTLINE assigned will control which information to send in the MCL file to be viewed on the E-Store catalog information.

11. IVSECODE

The IVSECODE should be set properly in order for the E-Store system to connect and do an MCL download. This is a “field service only” screen and the assistance of the advice line is needed.

12. Misc.

If you intend for the E-Store software to look at alternate parts you will need to make sure your PRISM system is on release 11.1.1.49 or higher. You will also need to setup INAPN and/or INSUB screens for the alternates or subs.

13. AConneX Registration

You must register on www.aconnex.com with the correct node ID as assigned by a PRISM advice line agent.You must register each inventory location in your system that will act as a warehouse to the E-Store customer.Once all locations have been registered, the E-Store representative can set up the trading relationships. Trading relationships must be set up for each location on the same node ID. This means that if the PRISM has 2 locations that the E-Store customer will be in communication with, there will be 2 relationships set up.

* NOTE: During the registration process, the warehouse (location) number is extremely important. This should be the location where the invoice will be created. For E-Stores the location settings in SYCPR are strictly used to confirm the customer number exists (in the A/R group). The invoicing location used comes from the registered location.
